burning structural wood is probably not great for you
If it's modern, absolutely. You don't want to burn chemically and pressure treated wood. The good news is that doing so is more likely to fuck up the person doing the burning, rather than the wider environment.
Ancient stuff pulled from a victorian gaff is probably fine. It won't have been treated, that's for sure, unless it's not original.
the net individual impact of car use is probably fairly low
Sure, all that mining, manufacturing, oil-pumping costs are nothing! Cars suck balls. Except when I want to go to the waterpark with my kid, which is well beyond cargo bike range.
